I cannot understand how there are “larger infinities than others” no matter how hard I try.

1.63K viewsMathematicsOther

I have watched many videos on YouTube about it from people like vsauce, veratasium and others and even my math tutor a few years ago but still don’t understand.

Infinity is just infinity it doesn’t end so how can there be larger than that.

It’s like saying there are 4s greater than 4 which I don’t know what that means. If they both equal and are four how is one four larger.

Lets say you will walk on forever.

If you take 5 steps for every meter you walk you will take more steps than if you take 1 step for every meter you walk.

The timeframe is the same, forever, but one of those walks has more steps than the other even though you won’t ever stop in both cases.
